A band was formed two-weeks ago and will perform at a gig that has been put together over the course of the past three weeks. One of the perks of living in Austin is that one can put together a 14-band show in three weeks and bands will actually swarm out of the woodwork to participate. Apologies to those who weren't able to take part due to an incredible response in such a short period of time.

The band is a performance art troupe comprised of three individuals of mixed backgrounds and was an impromptu response to the forming of the music fest. The musical range of the group is comprised of many facets of our rich American heritage: hardcore, poetry, church organs, ballet, free jazz, opera, militarism, looped samples, metronomes, accordions, fascism, the rejection of fascism, bongos, ridiculous costumes, and, of course, the pun.

The entire gig begins at 1:30 pm at a local housing cooperative in Austin, TX on the date of the 14th of March. See you there!
